Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Davenport Lounge offers a "spectacular" atmosphere with "incredible service" and delightful allergen accommodations. While some guests noted slow service and noise concerns, the "lovingly high tea experience" and "outstanding" Royal Tea stand out. Ideal for memorable occasions, though improvements in service speed and ambiance separation could enhance the experience.

The worst tea I have ever been too!!! The food, service, and atmosphere were beyond bad. The table was too small that we had to put our food on the floor. We waited for over an hour to be served anything. They did not separate the tea crowd from the bar crowd. It was like being at a bar before a Saints Game. They had no parking onsite. They also gave themselves a 22% tip!!!

This was an outing for the family for the holiday tea. I would not recommend the holiday tea, although I have dined and had drinks at the Davenport lounge outside of this event and it has been spectacular.

Wait staff was less than attentive, tea was watered down and food was Ok. I had higher expectations for the cost of $90 per person. The atmosphere is beautiful but I had better experiences with high tea elsewhere in NOLA this season.

In the past we have enjoyed the Ritz Carlton tea over others for many reasons. This years fell subpar. We could not vallet park as we did in the past. Had to park and walk a few blocks in heels and dresses. The food was old, could tell it had been sitting awhile. The waitress was kind but way to busy which made us have a tremendous wait from time to time. I miss the times of good service and for the price point along with this year's experience, may not return.

Great service! We were disappointed that Papa Noel did not provide a sussie gift to our daughter as in years past. However, the kitchen was able to accommodate my gluten and dairy intolerance. The substitutions were so tasty!

Tea is supposed to be serene and relaxing. It’s in the bar area also. So noisy really bothered us. I suffer from anxiety and it really messed with it. We would not go back at all. The service was slow. Tea was cold. They messed my nieces kids tea order. So they told her she could order off the bar menu. Really chicken fingers at a tea??? We will not being going back and will be going to the Windsor Clutt next Christmas for tea. Would not recommend at all!!

We did afternoon tea. Didn’t get tea until 45 mins after reservation time. Tea cooled way too quick too. Food options were tasty. Kid menu was good. All food was good. Service was just very very slow. Even for tea. Harpist was very nice. Mocktails were very good.
